PACKAGE OF FLY-PAPER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 459,188, datedSeptember 8, 1891.

Application filed June 18, 1889. Serial No. 314,694. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, EDWARD F. BAKER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Ohicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Packages of Fly-Paper,of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, thatwill enable others to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification.

Figure l is a perspective of the clamping or packing frame. Fig. 2 is aplan of a package secured by the same; and Fig. 3, a section 011 line 3,Fig. 2, looking in the direction indicated by the arrow.

In the manufacture of fly-paper it is necessary that the stickycomposition be so spread upon the paper that there will be a margin ofclear paper all around the leaf of each sheet, as otherwise thecomposition would be expressed between the edges of the paper and causethe different sheets in a package to adhere to each other and render thewhole package unsalable. Even with this precaution, however, it oftenhappens that the composition oozes out beyond the edges of the paper inconsequence of hot weather and the weight of other packages. I preventloss and damage from these causes by the use of a packing-frame whichpresses down only upon the margin of the paper and outside of theborder-line of the composition. The line of pressure is between theborder of the composition and the edge of the leaves and prevents thesticky substance from being expressed.

In the drawings, A A represent two companion parts forming theclamping-frame proper. These two half-frames are hinged together at a byinterlocking hookeyes formed in their respective joining ends, so as toprovide a hinged connection or jointfor convenience in making up thepackage.

B is a package of fly-paper.

In Figs. 2 and 3 the binder is shown in use on this package. The wireclips C pass over the edge of the package and engage with thebindingwires on each side, as shown in Fig.

3. These binding-clips are arranged at intervals and compress the leavestogether, and at the same time prevent the escape of the stickycomposition.

The dotted line D in Fig. 2 indicates approximately the maginal line ofthe composition. The package of paper is inserted between the jaws ofthe clamping-frame of improved construction and compressed and thelocking or binding clips secured in position when the package is readyfor shipment.

Having thus described myinvention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent isl. A clamping device or holder for packagesof fly-paper, consisting of a frame formed of two parts or sectionsarranged to clamp the uncoated margins of the sheets of paper onopposite sides of the package, in combination with individual bindingdevices adapted to engage the said parts or sections of the frameopposite the several margins, whereby a firm and uniform binding of theuncoated margins is secured, substantially as described.

2. A clamping device or holder for packages of fly-paper, consisting ofa frame formed of parts or sections adapted to clamp the sheets of paperupon their uncoated margins on opposite sides of the package and movablebinding clips or devices overlapping the edges of the package atintervals around its several margins and serving to firmly hold thesections of the frame upon the margins to prevent the escape of thesticky material from the sheets of paper, substantially as described.

3. A clamping device or holderfor packages of fiy-paper, consisting of aframe constructed of two parts or halves interlocked at one end to forma hinged joint and the binding-clips overlapping the edges of thepackage at intervals and having their respective ends attached to andbearing upon the clamping frame upon each side of the package,substantially as described.
